Cough, cough, splutter, splutter. You must excuse this reporter. She's just been down to her local perfume counter to check out Stormy Daniels' brand new fragrance Truth.

You see, this reporter was curious to see what it was all about and, after being squirted from top to toe in the stuff, it's fair to say she got a little bit more than she bargained for. In fact, this reporter is pretty sure Donald Trump gave a similar excuse in regards to his own encounter with the porn star.

To remind you, lest you have forgot, Ms Daniels is the one suing the American President after he denied "having relations" with her in 2006 shortly after his youngest son was born. Ms Daniels, in good old entrepreneurial spirit, has decided to fight Trump's denials not only through the proper legal channels but, so it appears, through the perfumery shelves.

What most intrigues this reporter about the fragrance is whether it will indeed cause the wearer to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in manner of a truth elixir? This reporter understands we are not living in a Harry Potter novel (and part of her thinks 'shame', as compared to what's going on in the real world, Voldemort is a walk in the park) but it would certainly make things a little more interesting for a perfume, which is otherwise going to find itself in the Perfume Shop's bargain basement sale next to Britney Spears' Fantasy.

You know, this reporter does declare she thinks the perfume may be beginning to take hold. And what better way to test out its truth telling propensity than a spot of global news.

First up, and talk of the devil, it's the big man himself, Mr Trump who has announced that America will be pulling out of the United Nations human rights council because it is nothing but a "cesspool of political bias". According to the US's ambassador Nikki Haley, America has been calling for reform of the council for over a year, but to no avail.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres voiced the feelings of the many when he commented: "Given the state of human rights in today's world, the US should be stepping up, not stepping back".
But this reporter must point out it can be no co-incidence that Trump has decided to pull out of the human rights council the very week he has come under immense fire for abusing the human rights of refugees at the Mexican border by taking their children away.

On that matter, Trump has now come out to say he too does not like to take children away from their parents but that he has no choice because it is written under Democrat law that he must do so. He claims Congress must come up with the legislation which will stop him.
We do all realise at this point don't we that Donald Trump is one toothbrush moustache away from full on Heil Hitler?

Just to further demonstrate world peace is balancing on a precipice, the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier has warned that after the UK leaves the union it cannot continue to benefit from EU-wide security and intelligence services including terrorism databases, Europol and surveillance system Galileo.
Mr Barnier said Britain cannot pick and choice which bodies it chooses to remain in but his words have provoked Jeremy Fleming, director of surveillance agency GCHQ, to breach his spy conduct and make a rare intervention into political policy by pointing out the UK has helped break up terrorist operations in four European countries in the last year.
The truth is, Barnier will now say anything to make Britain stay.

Meanwhile, as moves are being made to make medicinal cannabis legal in this country following a huge uproar over the removal of cannabis oil from a 12-year-old epileptic boy called Billy Caldwell, William Hague has been calling for Theresa May to legalise cannabis entirely.
The former Conservative party leader said the UK's drug policy was "inappropriate, ineffective and utterly out-of-date". He continued that it was deluded to think cannabis could be "driven off the streets" and was akin to asking the army to recover the empire. (Good youth reference Haguey).
Theresa May's spokesperson has formally replied by confirming (perhaps unnecessarily) that the Prime Minister has never smoked cannabis and perhaps more importantly, but not as intriguingly, there were no plans to legalise the substance.
Disappointing for many in light of the state of the world.

Now unfortunately it does appear the truth serum is wearing off as this reporter approaches today's fashion fix. And there she was all prepared to give a poor, yet truthful, review of Prada's shearling lined leather sandals saying it looked like two rodents had crept inside and the wearer had accidentally squashed them.
In absense of truth she must now say, what an ingenious idea they are for those who simply cannot decide whether they want they feet to be aerated or cosy.

SO there we have it, to no ones surprise - least of all the Prime Minister's - Theresa May's proposed Brexit deal has been voted down by Parliament. In an historic defeat of 230 votes as never seen in the democratic era. At least it did, momentarily, bring pro-EU MPs and Brexiteers together, in a game of Lobby football. Before heading back to opposing Commons trenches, to resume knocking seven bells out of each other.
And to think this happened when the premise on which Mrs May encouraged MPs to vote, was built upon a lie. The Prime Minister has consistently said to vote down her deal would destroy voters faith in politics, as though the referendum Leave result had been won on a landslide. To extract a line from Monday's pre-vote speech, from a mug factory in Stoke, she said: "People's faith in the democratic process and their politicians would suffer catastrophic harm".
But just in case people actually remembered the result, and as a clue it wasn't 89-11…

THE sight of a cavalcade of lorries emerging from the fog early on Monday morning, to take their places in a fake Brexit traffic jam, confirmed what we have all been fearing for some time now - we have reached the part in history our ancestors we think, we made up for the laugh.
But first we must turn to Prime Minister Theresa May who has entered a vital chapter in her own memoirs entitled: "Will she or won't she secure her deal?" as it dawned on her she faced no other alternative but to put her ill-favoured Brexit plan before Parliament, next Tuesday (Jan 15th).
It turns out however, she has a few tricks up her sleeve, including a spot of good old-fashioned schmoozing. Inviting her enemies to a series of drinks receptions at the top end of the week, where she no doubt hoped to lubricate the mood.
She says to her staunchest of critics; take these assurances the EU will agree a trade deal by 2021, that Parliament can have more say in the next stage of talks. Remember if y…

THIS Reporter wishes to express her fathomless thanks to the Westminster crew, none of whom decided to take upon themselves the tired old trope of making new year's resolutions - on off chance a better version of themselves existed - and instead continue in the exact same farcical way they blundered through 2018.
Because despite the fact ministers had, in theory, laid their dispatch boxes on beds of tinsel for the duration of Christmastide, there is still much for us to catch up with.
First, but by no means foremost, Sajid Javid, Home Secretary - who it has reached This Reporter via the rumour mill likes to call himself "The Saj" - perhaps short for Sergeant but more likely, Sajid - cut short his luxury £1,000-plus a night safari festive break in South Africa to rush back and deal with what he coined a "migrant crisis" but in reality was two brave souls casting out across the Channel in a rubber dinghy.
Nevertheless, Javid called for immediate clampdown on this…

You better watch out. You better not cry. Better not pout. I'm telling you why. Donald Trump is coming to town.

More about that later. First, some serious news. (This reporter puts on her most sensible of news reading glasses). The Guardian reports today (Monday) that Amber Rudd has "dramatically" resigned as home secretary after "repeatedly struggling to account for her role in the unjust treatment of Windrush generation migrants."

The documenter of our times continues: "The home secretary was forced to step down after a series of revelations in the Guardian over Windrush culminated in a leak on Friday that appeared to show she was aware of targets for removing illegal migrants from Britain.

"The pressure increased late on Sunday afternoon as the Guardian revealed that in a leaked 2017 letter to Theresa May, Rudd had told the Prime Minister of her intention to increase deportations by 10 per cent - seemingly at odds with her recent denials that she w…

"TIME is not something I acknowledge", said pop diva Mariah Carey on refusing to play ball on the "10 year challenge", posting two identical photographs of herself in a bikini taken ten seconds rather than ten years apart.
The concept of time is not something Ms Carey is afraid of. She is not freaked out by the ticking of the clock. She is simply impervious to it. It has no meaning. It does not exist. This is where the similarities between her and Theresa May, the Prime Minister, begin, and end.
Sixty-seven days to go until we Brexit. Mrs May is back after surviving yet another no confidence vote by an untriumphant, by nonetheless secure, 19 votes, and immediately launches into "cross party talks". Inviting all major party leaders to "put self-interest aside" and discuss a united way forward to break the Brexit deadlock. It is at this early point in proceedings, she comes unstuck.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who famously said "it's goo…
